    Well yes and no. I mean, there are no interviews at Amazon, like if you can show up, have an ID, and can communicate in virtually any language, they will find a job for you… I just don’t consider that skilled labor in the same sense as being a plumber or engineer or teacher, where you really need to study and know specific things before you can competently perform the work.

    I mean, sure being able to walk and read and use your hands are skills, but really basic level.

      And that’s why it’s not up to you, because you completely missed the point :)

      Working as a teacher or engineer relates very weakly to academic study, and very strongly to the interaction between innate talents and practical experience.
